Canadian Eskimo Dog Photos and Information

Submitted By Shyam on 13 November 2015

The Canadian Eskimo Dog is an Arctic breed of working dog (Canis lupus familiaris), which is often
considered to be one of North America's oldest and rarest remaining purebred indigenous domestic
canines. Other names include qimmiq or qimmit. The breed is currently threatened with extinction, with
a 2008 estimate of only 300 purebred dogs. Although once used as the preferred method of transportation
by Inuit in the Canadian Arctic, by the 1960s traditional working dog teams became increasingly rare in
the North. Contributing factors to the breed's decline include the increasing popularity of snowmobiles
for transportation and the spread of infectious canine diseases.
